Kissimmee River Restoration Project
Kissimmee River Restoration Project
Goal is to restore ecological integrity to the central region of the Kissimmee river and floodplain
Projected cost = $578 million 50/50 cost share USCOE/SFWMD Backfill 22 mi of C-38 canal Recarve/reconnect more than 40 mi
of river channel Remove 2 water control structures
(one has been removed) Headwaters Revitalization Project
provides additional water storage from headwater lakes for river restoration
Comprehensive restoration evaluation program

Kissimmee Chain of Lakes Long Term Management Plan
Kissimmee Chain of Lakes Long Term Management Plan
Purpose: improve, enhance and/or sustain ecosystem health of regulated lakes in the Kissimmee Upper Basin while balancing basin impacts
Collaborative effort SFWMD, USCOE, FFWCC,
USFWS, EPA, DEP, FDACS local governments, and other stakeholders
Purpose: improve, enhance and/or sustain ecosystem health of regulated lakes in the Kissimmee Upper Basin while balancing basin impacts
Collaborative effort SFWMD, USCOE, FFWCC,
USFWS, EPA, DEP, FDACS local governments, and other stakeholders
1) Assess Status Ecosystem Health / Develop Performance Measures2) Determine Baseline Conditions3) Identify opportunities for individual action by stakeholder agencies for situations where Baseline Conditions do not meet Performance Measures

Products Stakeholder values survey
Conceptual ecosystem model
Assessment of current (baseline) and reference characteristics of lakes
Assessment performance measures that describe desired characteristics of lakes Examples: wading bird reproduction, invertebrate
community composition, desired fluctuation levels, etc.

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study
Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study
Flows through the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and Kissimmee River are regulated by control structures
Goal: assess whether existing operations can be modified to achieve a better balance among
Flood control
Water supply
Aquatic plant management
Kissimmee Basin natural resources (KRR, KCOL)
Downstream discharge area (Lake Okeechobee)

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study - Approach
Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study - Approach
Geographic scope includes entire Kissimmee Basin
Hydrologic/hydraulic simulation model
Simulate a suite of regulation schedules for 13 structures in the Kissimmee Basin
Use performance measures to evaluate and select “best” operational criteria
Recommend regulation changes based on operational criteria selected
